Probably my favorite restaurant ever. I remember my first time visiting when I was a teenager. The esteemed elderly gentleman waiter in the golden blazer singing “I left my heart in San Francisco” as I savored the most delicious lasagna I had ever eaten. Everything I have ordered at Pinetta’s has been delicious. It is the perfect first date or 50th year anniversary restaurant. Nearly 3 decades later, it’s still my favorite place to eat. I love that I can still introduce people to it even now; it’s such a well kept secret! If you’ve been thinking of going, just... go. And if it’s your first time and you love italian food, try the lasagna or the parmesan, you won’t be disappointed.

Have heard about this place and passed it on a weekly biases. Went for the first time on Valentin's day and was blown away. They have Italian,Turkish, and German dishes. We started with the normal Italian and a bottle of wine. We are hooked after the fist time. The feel of the dark place with lots of stuff handing, small very comfortable feel. Have had 2 Italian, 2 German, 2 Turkish dishes and 2 desserts and tried 2 different wines (hooked one one of them). Each dish has been unbelievably good. Keep wanting to go back again and again to try something else. It's a hidden gem in Baton Rouge.

You may think upon entering that you walked into a tiny sidewalk cafe in another country but no, still Baton Rouge so don't panic unless you didn't bring cash. The food is excellent. The atmosphere is very comforting, inviting and warm. I would not dress too warm. The menu is appropriately priced. They have great Italian and also German food. Bring a date and enjoy!

Pinetta's is a unique place in the Baton Rouge area. I believe the owners are from Yugoslavia. I like the Italian dishes but there are many great options. The restaurant is small, dark and cozy. Good for a romantic dinner date. Service has been attentive and friendly.

This little place is awesome!  Very unique atmosphere.  Some people call it a hole in the wall but I like originality! Had the Schnitzel Holstein and it was very very good!  Buddy had the Seafood Ravioli and was also very good! All was cooked perfectly and presented well.  Definitely going back soon!

Call me crazy, but I like the ambiance of the place. Yes it's old, and (very) dark, and has a strange smell, but it's different from everything else in BR, and that's what I like about it. They also have some unique dishes that can't be found anywhere else in this city, and that's why I come here. As many others have mentioned, their red sauce is the best in town. Slightly sweet, and a little spicy, it's superb. Most of the food is good as well, although they tend to over-fry some of their fried dishes (such as schnitzel) making it nearly inedible. That being said, the food is generally good. That's not where the problem lies. The problem is the service, because they are understaffed. At lunch the owner/manager insists on having only one server attempting to wait on 7 or 8 or more tables at a time. It's just too much for one person to handle. The server has to play the role of hostess when people walk in the door, plus take orders, get refills, cash people out, and even act as bartender if need be (which is quite often, since most tables order beer or wine). Meanwhile, the female owner/manager stands behind the bar and barks out orders but does nothing to help. Every time I go there's a new server working, and I'm sure it's because they get overwhelmed and quit. No doubt they have a high turnover of employees, because she seems really tough to work for. It's sad, too, because this would be one of the best restaurants in town if the service improved, and it's not their fault, it's the owner's own stubbornness.

Wow I just read the review by Shoogiegirl. Wow. All I can say is that I totally disagree. This place has the best red sauce I have ever tasted. I love Italian food and grew up with old Italian and Irish roots. We love to eat and drink. God I love this place. Great food, dim , charming little place. Can it use a cleaning? Maybe but that may take away from the ambience. It is a European restaurant but will always remind me of a scene from The Godfather. Every time I go in I expect to see Michael Corleone coming out of the bathroom with a gun. As far as slow service goes, this to me is a place to visit when you are not in a hurry. Sit back n relax. Have se wine and good conversation with hopefully good company. Leave the cell phone and appointment pad in the car. Enjoy a nice meal. Have more wine. Talk son more. Indulge in some dessert. Have some more wine. Order a nice coffee or perhaps more wine. Have the waitress call u a cab while you have a few more sips of wine and discuss with your significant other just how much you love them and what you plan on doing when you get home. Get in the cab n pick the car up tomorrow after a hopefully loving and eventful evening. Did I mention the incredible sauce. Mmmmmm

AMAZING! The atmosphere is very romantic with dim lighting. Definitely a local hole in the wall restaurant. The service was great, and the food was soooooooo good. The portion size was more than enough. And the best part, was the price. Me and my boyfriend expected around $40 for the amount of quality and service, but it was only $27! We left full and happy! Definitely will go back!

Fabulous. My first experience at Pinetta's was on Saturday with a couple of friends and I cannot wait to go back again. My friends have been many times and they were in the mood for Italian and suggested we go. We arrived around 630pm and were immediately seated at a nice corner table. We started dinner with a calamari appetizer and bottle of wine... the calamari was light and had a good flavor; it was served with a very nice red sauce. I ordered the Lasagna, it was delivered to the table in a small cast iron; the server plated the lasagna from the cast iron in to my plate, which I thought was a very nice presentation. This lasagna was simply delicious. The red sauce had a little kick to it, the pasta was cooked perfectly and it was just layers and layers of goooooooooooood. Service was very good as well; I cannot remember our servers name but he was very attentive and provided a great experience. I can't wait to go back and I will definitely share my experience with friends and family.

Amazing!! First time here and not disappointed. The waiter was very nice and friendly. I ordered garlic bread(tasty especially when its piping hot), french onion soup (very delicious and practically to die for) and the spaghetti and meat balls. The spaghetti was a perfect portion and well seasoned. I am definitely coming back and trying more dishes!

Very small and quaint. The atmosphere is very charming and dates to the 70's. The food is amazing. I had the scalopini (spelling?) and it was delicious. My wife had the seafood ravioli special and said the same. Everyone at our table raved about how great their meal was. Before we left we made plans to return in two weeks to celebrate our son's birthday! Will be back...

Best red sauce ever! You can't go wrong ordering anything that has the red sauce! It's AMAZING! The Lasagna is my favorite, my husband's favorite is the Veal Parmigiano.

This small, dimly lit restaurant is one of Baton Rouge’s best kept secrets. It’s the perfect romantic spot for date night and a bottle of Chianti. All the food I’ve tried has been so flavorful and delicious. The red sauce is amazing. I normally get the tuna or filet. Both wonderful choices.
